For Sale Award winning Toyota Chinook 4x4 Camper...That's right!

[Trail Outfitters]

Sorry for the delay on the interior pics.

As edited in the beginning of the thread we are VERY interested in building this Chinook for a customer.

We would love to take this basic truck and turn it into an even more functional, creature comforts, armored, turn key expo rig. Built to suit.

If that is something you are looking for and not looking for a "project" in any way this would be a great opportunity for probably one of the more rare and unique expedition vehicles out there!

We are actually setting up to do a 80 series Chinook for a customer. So if that gets your wheels turning for you own custom project let us know!!

This interior was built in less than two days before the 3 week trip I took. So it is not the Ritz by any means.

Basic stock cab

Counter top with two large access points and exterior access hatch. Built to fit stock sink and water tank

Bed

Under bed storage

$8000? Why has this not sold yet??

The price on the front page shows $5000, and I am wondering the same.

 

[Trail Outfitters]

I haven't put too big of an effort into the sale. Showed it to a few guys but most were too worried about there wives and the lack of creature comforts.

Still very interested in restoring, building, and making this a one of a kind rig for someone.

Best to call 530-401-2023 if interested.

Thanks,
Scott

How come all the cool stuff is always so far away?

my 4x4 'rader...
SWEEET chinook!

That looks like an after thought 4x4 conversion. They made them in 4x4 from 84-86 I believe. That looks a little earlier.

Did you convert it?

 

[SUUEEET]

conversion Price?

Does that include the cost of a conversion to a 60 series??

Price drop to $4500...

Price drop to $4500...

Interested, just not quite sure what that gets me.

More/better pix interior, suspension, engine etc.

I understand you want to expo build it for someone, but what are you offering now?


And do you need a running 60 for the next build?

 

[Trail Outfitters]

The 4500 is for THIS chinook. We are not cutting this one up since it is original.

If you want to do a conversion on a cruiser or any other vehicle we can do that.

We are doing an 80 series conversion right now.

We just need your vehicle and we can help you find a chinook.

If you are interested please call me at 530-401-2023 and we can discuss it.

Okay, I get that the money is for this rig, w/a 2day bone stock interior rebuild: could you show us more?

don't get how it's got a kitchen sans frig and stove... doesn't that just make it a counter?

Engine, frame, what it looks like popped, troubled canvas areas, etc?


More details please.

 

[Trail Outfitters]

The pics at the top of this thread pretty much show the extent of the interior of the camper. Not sure if used the term kitchen, but it just a counter top with storage underneath. Its a good platform to build a kitchen. Sorry if I misinterpreted that.


Engine is rebuilt I would say less than 20k as per the previous owner. It runs like a top with good power for the stock motor, solid 5 speed, tcase works fine, nothing grinds or pops out of gear.

The canvas is good there is one small patch. No leaks. Pops up and down with ease.

Frame is solid. This was a California car its whole life so we don't deal with much frame rust here.

The 3 people that have looked at it basically wanted all the creature comforts built in for the kitchen and the rust on the body taken care of, but for this price I can't do that.

We don't have much time here to fix it up, but I am thinking we might have to to make the sale easier. Like putting a functional kitchen in, rust/body work, redoing the silicon, and some other small bits. So I am bringing in a friend from another shop to go to town on it next week if it doesn't sell.

After that the price will go up or anyone with the skills and a couple weekends could do it on their own and buy it as is.

I lived out if this truck for three weeks and it was fine for me with a coleman stove, water tanks, and a cooler.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the clarification, and extra shot.

What's the interior height when open? Size of the 'upstairs' sleeping platform?

I could see making this one hella neat dog show road tripping -mobile.

Did you convert it?

It's an 85. Factory 4x4.
I've read they only made about 30 of them.

 

[Trail Outfitters]

Just cleaned out the Chinook and took a ton of pics.

Send me your email and I can forward them.

Have had 3 people come and look at it, but no offers. They all wanted more creature comforts.

FINAL PRICE DROP TO $4k. I feel like this is a steal. We just can't justify keeping it with all the vehicles we have.

If serious about buying please call me at 530-401-2023.

Thanks folks,

Scott

 

[Taildragon]
